Mmmm, that’s interesting GrannyGravy.
Doesn’t sound very democratic.
I think EM is completely the wrong person to be in charge of our Green Energy programme as I think he is a zealot. He is incapable of considering the repercussions for the population, especially the poor.
It is no different from the days of nationalised industries.
I worked for British Gas when it was nationalised. The company was run by its commercial and technical managers. The government formed a broad energy policy for the country and the nationalised industries fitted in that.
The decision to stop building coal fired power stations was a govenment decision. Using gas instead of coal was a government decision, but the timescale for closing down coal fired stations and in what order was a commercial decision. Building gas fired power stations, size, location, source of gas was a commercial decision.
I see no reason why this organisation should do more than direct the broad policy of energy supply.
Too many alarmists driven by their aversion to this current government. Not my choice either but Itry to examine their policies and think them through in an impartial way.
